A firework accidently explodes while on the ground. The firework was initially at rest and breaks into 2 pieces in the explosion. Piece A has   3.00   times the mass of piece B.

If 5800 J is released in the explosion, and 90% of that energy goes into the kinetic energy of the 2 pieces, what is the final KE of piece A and piece B?    KEA, KEB =?

A tank, at rest at the origin of an x-y coordinate system, explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, mass of m, moves with the speed v in the negative x- direction, and a second piece, with mass m/2, moves with a speed vd at an angle of 30 degrees (down or -yaxis) with respect to the +x axis. The third piece with mass m/2 moves with speed vu at an angle (up or +y axis) of...

A vessel at rest explodes, breaking into three pieces. Two pieces, having equal mass, fly off perpendicular to one another with the same speed of 45m/s. One goes along the negative x-axis and the other along the negative y-axis. The third piece has three times the mass of each other piece. What are the direction and magnitude of its velocity immediately after the explosion? 1)What is the angle with respect to the x-axis? 2)What is the magnitude of its velocity?

An exploding cannonball is initially launched at a speed of 75.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0 ◦ above the horizontal. At its highest point, the cannonball explodes into three pieces. The first piece, with a mass of 2.00 kg, heads straight upward at a speed of 15.0 m/s immediately after the explosion. The second piece, with mass of 2.50 kg, initially moves in the direction 15.0 ◦ above the horizontal immediately after the explosion. The third piece, with a...

Please answer all, Thank you. 1. A firework is designed so that when it is fired directly upwards, it explodes and splits into three equal-massed parts at its peak. Someone launches the firework directly upwards and measures the locations of two of the pieces of the firework. They find that one piece landed 2 meters to the left and another piece landed two meters in front of them. Where did the third piece of land? 2. A Newton's cradle is...

A 6.9 kg model rocket is traveling horizontally and due south with a speed of 20.2 m/s when it explodes into two pieces. The velocity of one piece, with a mass of 2.4 kg, is v1 = (-12 m/s)i + (30 m/s)j + (15 m/s)k, with i pointing due east, j pointing due north, and k pointing vertically upward. (a) What is the velocity of the other piece, in unit-vector notation? Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. m/s i m/s j...
